Hike Oregon: An Atlas of Oregon's Greatest Hiking Adventures

This book weaves the history of Oregon into its hike descriptions making it stand out from other hiking books. I had never been to Oregon before and the author is my tour guide as she describes the history of different parts of Oregon as well as the geology and plants and animals. The author also promotes responsible hiking with her dogs. I hike with my dog everywhere and this book gave me the nuts and bolts information I needed for how to train my dog for the trail and where to purchase gear which was very helpful.

This is a very well researched and written hiking book about Oregon. It stands above the crowd with its well researched hike descriptions (especially the Munra Point hike) which are filled with history and interesting geologic tidbits about Oregon. It is obvious the author loves what she does!
